So I am currently on the hunt for the next pedal. I currently own a Klon and it sounds amazing but I am a little bothered by the mid hump...yes there is a mid hump despite what some may say. With that in mind, I thought I would bring it before you guys to see what you think. I want a dynamic and transparent overdrive that pairs well with other pedals and is quiet. I have heard great things about the Tim and Timmy by Paul Cochrane and I have own a couple OCDs at one time or another.

But what are your thoughts? Which should I get or should I just stay with my Klon? Or shoot, I could keep the Klon and get one of these too.

Yes, the Klon gives you an enormous amounts of mids and that's either terrible when you play alone or wonderful when you have to cut in a band situation. The Tim and Timmy are basically Tube Screamers that got stripped down a bit... Nothing special, DIY techs have been doing that for ages.

I'd advice you to look at the Maxon OD-820 and/or the T-Rex Møller. Read my posts in the threads below for more information. All based on my own first hand experience.

That mid hump can be a good thing in an overdrive pedal, not because it helps you to cut through a mix better, but it's also more natural. When you drive a tube amp into overdrive, the mids sound more prominent.

Can someone define "Mid range hump"....I have an Analogman TS808 with the silver mod....Its suppose to eliminate the hump.....what does that mean?

I agree. I have found most OD pedals without "the hump" to make my sound muddy. This is an over-generalization, but the moral is....I like mids.

For the sake of this thread, the Timmy can do both. The bass and treble controls can be rolled back to "add mids" in a way that sounds good.
